Yes Live Concert Performance of 'America' in New York
In the fall of 1997, Yes took the stage at the Beacon Theatre in New York City for a memorable live recording that showcased their classic sounds and powerful performances. Just prior to this concert, the band had released "Open Your Eyes" in 1997, a fresh take that attempted to blend their distinctive progressive rock style with a more modern edge. This period was pivotal for Yes, as they were navigating lineup changes and experimenting with new musical directions. Interestingly, during this live performance of "America," a cover of Simon & Garfunkel’s hit, the band added their own intricate arrangements, illuminating their skills with complex harmonies and musicianship. Although they faced some ups and downs in the previous years, that evening at the Beacon Theatre, fans were treated to a vibrant display of Yes's enduring legacy and artistry, solidifying their place in the rock universe.
